The people of Pompeii had little warning about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. While there were some signs of volcanic activity, such as earthquakes and gas emissions, these were not taken seriously by the residents. Many continued their daily lives, and when the eruption began, it occurred rapidly, catching the city off guard. Consequently, the majority of the population was unable to escape in time.

Did everyone who lived in Pompeii perish in the eruption?
No, most of the people paid attention to the warning signs and left. According to the most recent guestimates, it seems that no more than 2,000 people would have died. Estimates of the total population of Pompeii vary, but between 20,000 and 30,000 is usually given. If no more than 2,000 people lost their lives, this was a very small part of the population.
